The Head Nod Method

By Phil on Aug. 26, 2009.

This is one of the most simple and convenient forms of Brain Wave Vibration. It can be done anytime during the day to refresh your brain, even sitting at a desk while working or studying. You can also try this while lying down before sleeping. The Head Nod Method is designed to deliver vibrations directly to the brain stem for deep relaxation and release of tension. After this exercise, you will be able to focus and retain information more successfully. It will also help you avoid the stiff neck and shoulders that often accompany work and study. Try it for just three minutes in the afternoons when you feel fatigued, and you will feel much more energized.

1. Sit in a chair with your arms resting comfortably at your sides or in front of you on a desk. You may also sit on the floor in a half-lotus posture. When sitting in a chair, do not lean your back against the chair, but keep your back straight.

2. Close your eves and breathe comfortably, relaxing your body completely. To be continue………..

Life Is Vibration ilchi lee brain art festival

By Phil on Aug. 22, 2009.

People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life…
I think that what we’re really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.

J. OU ARK A BEING DESIGNED to perceive vibration. All of your senses are made to collect different kinds of information from the world around you through vibration. When you look at something, your eyes are receiving and processing the waves of light as they appear in the form of shape and color. When you hear, your ears funnel in the vibrations of sound, which your brain translates into meaningful interpretations of reality. When certain oscillations and combinations of sound are especially pleasing, you call it music; when the sound of words are moving, you call it poetry. When you touch something, you perceive the dance of molecules beneath your fingertips—some moving quick and hot, others slow and cold. When you run your fingers over the surface of an object, vibrations inform the peripheral nerves just below the surface of the skin, helping you make judgments about shape, size, and texture. Even when you smell and taste, the experience is dependent on the vibratory interplay of molecules interacting with your own molecular makeup.

Brain Resonance From Ilchi Lee Brain Education

By Phil on Aug. 11, 2009.

All of your five senses are dependent on messages in the form of vibrations reaching your brain. But you may have one more sense of which you are less aware. You have felt this sense if you have ever had your mood affected by someone else. Perhaps you were in a persistently glum mood, and suddenly a cheerful person lifted you out of your cloud. Or maybe the opposite happened, and someone’s internal anger contributed to your own growing sense of irritation.

This phenomenon stems from the brain’s tendency to resonate in accordance with other brains. You know already that your brain produces vibrations called brain waves. This cannot be directly observed, but I believe that these brain waves literally interact with other brains as we interact with people. Thus, we have an effect on others, and they have an effect on us before we have even said a word. And of course, our eventual words and actions in the world will also follow the dictates of these waves. I think you can begin to see why I put such emphasis on the health of human brain waves. These waves do so much to determine the quality of our lives, and we could do so much to change our lives if we could only learn to control our brain waves. Imagine, for example, a young father coming home after a long, hard day at the office. His workday has been full of conflicts and disappointments, and his brain is emanating the expected emotions—anger, resentment, and annoyance.

Heaven’s Gate (Chun Muhn)

By Phil on Aug. 9, 2009.

Also called the Great Heaven’s Gate (Dae Chun Muhn), this refers to the 7th Chakra, located around the Baek-hwe point. Its literal meaning is “Gate that connects to Heaven.” In Asia, it was much revered. Just as the body gestates in the womb and is born through the Jade Gate, the soul gestates in the palace of the 6th Chakra and is born through Heaven’s Gate. This is the birth of the Spiritual Body.

As Ilchi Lee recommends three Palaces Earth Palace (Ji or Jah Goong):

Refers to the 2nd Chakra, located in the lower Dahn-jon. This is the place where sperm and ovum meet to create and nurture the body. It is often referred to as the Earth Palace because it is the place where the body is prepared for birth into life on Earth.

Refers to the 4th Chakra, where the middle Dahn-jon is located. It is referred to as the Mind Palace, because it is believed to house the mind. It is also the place of emotions, including loneliness, sadness, and love. Someone who is full of compassion and love is often referred to as a “humane” person. The 4th Chakra is termed the “Human Palace” (In Goong). In order to open Heaven’s Gate, all of the Chakras from the 1st through the 7th must be connected. The 4th Chakra is especially important in this connection. You must open your mind and rid yourself of attachment and greed in order to awaken the 4th Chakra.

Joseph Campbell, mythologist

By Phil on Aug. 9, 2009.

What we often do not realize, however, is that we are vibration-producing creatures as well. Of course we can sing and talk with our voices, which are ways of making sound vibrations. But there is another kind of vibration that cannot be so easily perceived with the five senses. It is an especially powerful form of vibration called thought. While we may not often perceive thought as being real in the same way that an object is real, it is in fact the most real and powerful thing in the universe.

Every achievement of humankind—from the prehistoric paintings on cave walls to rockets blasting into outer space—all began with a thought conceived in someone’s brain. We communicate these thoughts to the world also by means of vibration— through the words we speak, the ways we touch, and the actions we create. When these thoughts find accord with the thoughts of others, truly amazing things happen and even entire planets can be transformed—sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.

There is one key player in all this vibratory communication.

It is what is responsible for both receiving and producing the vibrations that shape the quality and content of our lives. It is the human brain.

The Chakras and the Process of Completing the Soul

By Phil on Aug. 5, 2009.

In words of Mr Ilchi Lee which he writes in his book about subject there are three gates and three palaces, which we must pass through in order to attain completion of the soul. Awakening the Chakras, by ascending the Chakra ladder, will lead you to the third human birth, the spiritual birth of Heavenly Transformation.

Three Gates Jade Gate (Ok Muhn):

Signifies the 1st Chakra, located at the perineum point. It is the gate through which the seed of life enters. It is also the gate through which the body is born. Life’s first birth, the birth of the body, occurs through the Jade Gate.

Soul Ciate (Holm Muhn):

Signifies the 5th Chakra, located around the thyroid glands in the neck. Most of our souls are trapped in the physical body. In order for a soul to be born through the 6th Chakra, it must escape the 4th and pass through the 5th Chakra. When the Soul Gate opens, the seed of the soul enters the palace of the 6th Chakra to begin grow­ing. Once you pass through the Soul Gate, you will feel a true sense of freedom. You will no longer be deceived by the cycle of highs and lows based on material gain and external circumstances. When you attain true freedom of the soul, frustration and emptiness will dis­appear naturally.

The Principle of the Oneness of the Cosmic Self

By Phil on Jul. 31, 2009.

According to founder of Dahn Yoga and famous brain educator Ilchi Lee Human Bears Heaven And Earth, And The Three Make One “Human Bears Heaven and Earth,” refers to the person who has realized the Self as part of the Grand Oneness of the Cosmos. Such a person is also a “Shin In,” or divine person. Healing Chakra is a training system designed to allow one to experience the Self as part of the whole cosmos.

When all seven internal Chakras are awak­ened, or activated, you will realize Oneness with the rest of the cos­mos, knowing that Heaven and Earth are within you.

One Is The End Of All, And The One Has No Ending The physical body has a beginning and an end. However, the soul is timeless and limitless.

Knowing this, you are liberated from fear, attaining true peace of mind, freedom of imagination, and infi­nite creativity of the spirit. When the soul leaves a person’s body through the 7th Chakra, that individual is said to have undergone a Heavenly Transformation.

Unleashing

By Phil on Jul. 22, 2009.

Finally, remember to teach your children that failure is not a negative thing. It is a normal part of anyone’s learning process, and, unless you quit, it is only a temporary state on the path to success. In fact, the ability to cope with and face our own failures may reflect the ultimate kind of confidence.

Ilchi Lee writes in his book that this may be a difficult exercise, but it builds both physical and mental strength.

01. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent.

02. Lift your arms up and out to the side, forming 90-degree angles. Turn your palms up so that your palms face the outside.

03. Hold this position for as long as you can, starting with five minutes and working up to 20 minutes.

The alien really wants to experience Earth

By Phil on Jul. 18, 2009.

According to Ilchi Lee about subject he says go to some natural setting, such as a park or wooded area. Ask your child to pretend to be a space alien who has just landed on planet Earth. The alien really wants to experience Earth, but he or she does not have eyes like humans. So you must carefully guide your little alien to experience the wonders of nature. Blindfold the child or have him or her close eyes tight. You can guide the hand to feel the bark of a tree, or pick up a leaf and rub it gently against the cheek. (Watch out for itchy and prickly things!) Instruct the alien to smell a fragrant flower or rub rocks together to make a sound. After a while, switch roles, mak­ing the child the human and the adult the alien.

Begin with the Energy Ball activity presented on page 80. Imagine the earth in front of you. What does the Earth look like to you? What do you feel? Now, place the energy ball into the earth. Imagine the Earth glowing. Share with each other what you saw in your mind’s eye.

Brain Watching and Drawing

By Phil on Jul. 5, 2009.

Posted by: Mr Ilchi Lee

Sit comfortably. Place your hands on your knees with the palms facing the ceiling. Straighten your back. Relax all the muscles of the body.

Visualize the outside of the headfirst. Ask, “What does your head look like from above?”

Then go deeper into the head, imagining the shape of the brain. Ask, “What does your cerebrum look like? What is its shape? What color is it? What is it doing right now?”

Ilchi Lee is a world renowned peace activist and spiritual leader.

Body and Brain Relaxation

By Phil on Jun. 30, 2009.

Posted and Submitted by: Ilchi Lee

Lie down on the floor, arms to the side and legs on the ground. Position your legs shoulder width and bring your arms forty-five degrees from the body, palms facing the ceiling. If this is not possible, sit comfortably, arms relaxed with palms facing upward. Close your eyes, feeling your chest fill with air as you breathe in. Slowly exhale, feeling the air come slowly out of your mouth.

Relax each part of the body as you call out its name. Begin with the face, feeling the forehead, eyes, jaw, and mouth releasing tension. Feel your neck relax. Release tension from the shoulders. Allow the chest to expand more and more as you breathe. Relax the abdomen, thighs, calves, and feet.

Ilchi Lee suggests that continue breathing as you imagine oxygen traveling farther up the spinal column with each breath. Imagine each part of the brain lighting up like a light bulb as oxygen reaches it. Call out each part of the brain as it begins to glow.

The Steps of Brain Education by Ilchi Lee

By Phil on Jun. 25, 2009.

Posted by: Ilchi Lee

The process of Brain Education Ilchi Lee published in book is divided into some simple steps. As you progress through the twelve lessons, you and your child will move naturally through these five steps. However, perfecting any one of the steps is a lifelong journey, and the skills gained in earlier steps will continue to be utilized in later steps. You will notice that most of the lessons in this book focus on the first and second steps, which are most appropriate for children and beginning practitioners.

1. Brain Sensitizing: Participants become more aware of the brain and its functions. This step may include some basic understanding of brain structure, but more importantly, it creates awareness of the brain as the organ of all perception, especially sensory perception. Furthermore, practitioners can reawaken sensory perception that may have become dulled through habit or environmental over stimulation. The sensitizing process begins with relaxation of body and mind through stretching and breathing exercises.

2. Brain Versatility: During this step, children gair increased flexibility of the brain. Participants learn to shift point of view quickly and to facilitate communication between left and right hemispheres of the brain. This step may include physical exercises that develop coordination, mental exercises that require quick thinking and prolonged concentration, and other activities that develop creativity and imagination.

Best Approach to the Children

By Phil on Jun. 21, 2009.

Edited and published Ilchi Lee in his book.

Mr Ilchi Lee writes that In fact, taking the mind-set of a child is the best approach when working with children using this program. BE instructors are encouraged to “act like seven-year-olds” during their training because that is the best way to ensure an imaginative and accepting mind. So, as you work with your power brain kids, remember to become a kid right along with them. Practice the exercises as they do, making the lessons a fun part of your everyday routine.

Before beginning any Brain Education activities, be sure to do some stretching exercises, like those presented in the Brain-Body Activation section. When you are lacking time, you may be tempted to skip that, but please don’t! These exercises are very crit cal for circulating oxygenated blood to the brain and for “waking up” the circuitry of the brain. Also, new connections are created in the brain anytime you use the muscles in new ways. So, try to do at least fifteen minutes before beginning any BE activities.
